Torrential rains have come lashing Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad and other parts of Maharashtra for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday. This has severely affected the everyday life. Trains and flights services have also been affected in Mumbai. The city recorded 297.6mm rain in 9 hours, between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM. This is higher than any 24-hour rain in August in a decade. The weather forecast shows heavy rainfall for the next 24 hours as well.
The incessant downpour has paralysed local trains and bus services in Mumbai, leading the state government and civic authorities to announce a high alert in many areas. Various parts of Western Railway’s Mumbai Division are waterlogged, as a result of which many long distance trains have been cancelled.
